Why is this Stickied? Lol

 

[Corndog]

I don't even want to dignify this babble with a response, but I feel compelled to say that an album with Kanye's trash vocals all over it can never be better than Thriller, or any great album with competent singing or rapping

One star and negged for bozo babble!

Off subject but when did Graduation become the hallmark Kanye album

Its been his most streamed album for years now. Upon release MBDTF was considered his Opus but now based on online discourse Graduation has took it spot.

“Kanye made graduation he gets a pass” is a real worldwide phenomenon lol

It's crazy, I just found out Graduation was the most streamed hiphop album on Spotify in 2025. That's crazy af.

Not better than Thriller, but it's probably my most listened to Kanye album (even ifI don't think it's the best one)

For me it's the easiest to listen to. There's no skits or interludes. There's a wide variety of styles. You have the soul sample shyt on there. You have the stadium style joints. It sounds large but it was still when he was still mostly producing most of the records. It has some crossover appeal to other genres with the Daft Punk and the Coldplay joints. I also think it's less presumptuous and self important than some of his other albums (outside of the Big Brother track). It feels shorter to me than some of his other albums too which makes it an easy listen. It's only 50 minutes. Late Registration is 70 mins, Dropout is like 75 mins, MBDTF is 70 mins, etc.

Whichever mod stickied this need to stand on it,its obvious you must agree

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Also @Chip Skylark Graduation is only 50 minutes. Late Registration is pushing 80 mins, Dropout is like 75 mins, MBDTF is 70 mins, etc. You can spin the whole album really fast. In today's low attention span era, 50 mins just feels like a way less bloated body of work,.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Also a funny thread because MBDTF is the one that used to get compared to Thriller in real time. Chris Rock used to compare it to Thriller all the time
